Abstract: A kinetic energy heat pump and method for separating fluids into hot and cold fractions, wherein the kinetic energy heat pump comprises a blower, a nozzle, a tube having a radial bend, a diffuser having a separating baffle and at least two outputs. To use, gas is accelerated through the nozzle. The gas then travels around a radial bend, wherein centrifugal force compresses gas toward the outside of the radial bend, thereby forming hot gas molecules, and expands gas molecules near the inside wall of the radial bend to form cold gas molecules. The hot and cold gas molecules then travel through the diffuser. The separating baffle selectively directs the amount of hot and cold gas molecules that travel through hot and cold output channels of the diffuser.
